Africa-Press – Angola. Expected to last six months, the work is being carried out under the auspices of the Cazenga Administration and was preceded by soundings, prospecting, as well as cleaning of solid waste.
The coordinator of the BC/two Tunga Ngó sector, Moreira Miguel, explained that in the rainy season, the water reaches a height of one meter in the houses, forcing “many residents” to take refuge in surrounding areas.
During a report on the site, this Tuesday, it was found that close to 50 families are living in the area adjacent to the aforementioned basin, some of which requested speed in the execution of the work, to avoid the repetition of similar situations.
Mariana Kizanga, a resident of Rua Cinco do Tunga Ngó, deplores the fact that “they suffer a lot from mosquitoes and the nauseating smell coming from the basin”, admitting that she is prone to contracting the disease.
It augurs that the requalification will end before the next rainy season, which starts on the 15th of August, falling with great intensity between February and April.
For Morais Calueto, a resident of Tunga Ngó for 38 years, due to the rains and the precarious situation in which they lived, some families (an unspecified number) were transferred to Zango 4, in the municipality of Viana.
The Tunga Ngó basin is the third in the municipality of Cazenga to benefit from requalification since 2020, after the Velho Kimbumbu and Mabululu, in the Urban Districts of Calawenda and 11 de Novembro, respectively.
